HBN Coating With a Link To Interesting Reading

[Joec7651]

HBN coating bullets seems very interesting and much less messy than moly coating. Do any of you have any experience with it? There is a lot of information about it out there and David Tubb swears by it. His resume is quite impressive I might add. I’m thinking about trying it with E-Tips to see if it lowers the pressure associated with the bullet. Which is what it seems to do with other projectiles.

Also here is a link to some interesting experiments the military is conducting by adding it to powders to prolong barrel life. They used IMR-4198 for part of their experiment. This may be the next step in powder development. NO IM NOT SAYING ADD BORON NITRIDE TO YOUR POWDERS. It’s just a thought provoking experiment with promising results that could prolong our barrel life in the future.

Try it and see! I do know that moly reduces pressure with E-tips. I'm using book max loads in most cases. Over book max usually with bullets of standard construction.

First round of bullets in the tumbler. We shall see.

Keep us posted. I've considered ditching moly for hbn....
